The Hearthside

The facility seemed adequate. I was not overly impressed with the common or private areas for those living there, but it seemed to provide them with everything necessary. The staff was friendly and it was clean, but facilities like this can't get around the typical old person smell. Not necessarily a negative, and not really tangible, but there nonetheless.

The exterior of the Hearthside assisted living facility resembled an English Tudor mansion. We decided to stop in while in the area looking at places for our uncle to live. The outdoor included a courtyard, gazebo and a lovely covered patio for enjoying the outside area. The open dining room featured a beautiful and warm fireplace - much like you would see in a cabin-like homestyle restaurant. It was a very nice touch and really made the space feel comfortable. The food smelled and looked really delicious and we could see that it as prepared in a healthful manner. The menus included a variety of healthy food options for all diets. Healthy snacks were offered often and whenever the seniors desire them. The furnishings and decor of the entire interior was really lovely with plenty of seating areas to enjoy throughout and lots of nice natural light and fresh air. There were spacious communal areas included rooms for crafts, reading, games, church services and more. We saw seniors comfortably socializing, playing games, watching TV and the event calendar featured many other stimulating activities to participate in. The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture. Seniors can safely walk around the grounds for exercise, and use the exercise room. Exercise classes are offered regularly. The residents also go on many trips in the region and surrounding areas. They take advantage of all of the cultural offerings as well as eat at the many casual and fine dining establishments. The staff easily accommodates all levels of ambulation with kindness and caring. All of the residents looked like they enjoy their living environment very much
